Just completely worth it.

Amazon already has good prices, and the hidden benefit of Prime is that if I call them to complain about something they bend over backwards to fix it because they can see what my total spending for the year was. I just have a whole lot more confidence in a web site where they know my business is worth thousands over the years vs. some place where I might spend $100 on a one time basis.

My wife’s Dell laptop clamshell was damaged and needed to be repaired.

My wife took the laptop into a major chain that advertised computer repair.

The store quoted in the neighborhood of $500 to repair.

I put the service tag into the Dell support web site, got the part numbers, punched the part numbers into Amazon Search, the parts came up, ordered what I needed and within a week I had the repair done for about $80 plus maybe a couple hours of my time.

Not the first time I’ve found hard to find items on Amazon. Their search algorithms are outstanding.
